Motley and bismarck

Motley, The American historian, while
at the University of Gottingen, made the
acquaintance of a student who is now
known rs 1.-THE man of blood and iron. u
Bismarck and he became friends, and the
friendship lasted until Motley's death
The two students were once arrested and
lodged in the guaFd-house, for singing
too loudly in the streets of Berlin one
night, as they were returning from a stu
dents festival. In Mr.. Whipple's essay
on Motley, the following anecdote is
told:
While Motley was American Minister
at the Austrian Court, Bismarck visited
Vienna to settle terms of peace with the
Emperor who had been Prnssia's ally in
the war against Denmark. Arriving too
late TO go to the office of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, he drove to Motley
house, and found the American Minister
Just rising from 4 family dinner. The
old friends joined hands; fresh viands
were brought in from the kitchen, and
the old collegians chatted merrily over
their student-life.
1t was long after midnight when Bis
marck departed. UNCONSCIOUS OF or III
different to the fact that the brain OF
every foreign ambassador at Vienna had
been wondering at this incident for hours.
What meant this mysterious visit to the
American Ministerl Was there to be an
alliance between Prussia and the United
States? kilograms flew to London, Paris,
Turin and St Petersburg. Diplomatists
taxed their ingenuity TO discover what
the long visit meant.
Charles Sumner, as Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
received private letters from eminent per
sons abroad, nervously asking what the
interview signified Has the United
States, they asked, determined to depart
from non-interference in European af-
fairs. as recommended by the Immortal
Washington
Mr.. Sumner, knowing the intimacy be-
tween Motley and Bismarck, smiled, and
years after, the two gentlemen laughed
heartily at the one humorous incident in
American diplomacy which disturbed the
peace of Europe for two days.

Indian Cremation in Alaska.

Having had Information the other day
of a cremation to take place Mt the Indian
village, l went to the beach to witness It.
The defunct siwash was known around
Juneau rs Frank, and was formerly en-
ployed at Martin Brothers store in the
capacity Of Indian clerk, and the kloek-
man Ct being double cremation of one
of each SEX had been called Jennie;
both, as it happened, having died Of con-
sumption. The mourning service con-
sisted Of the ancicnf---rr-Trl-u,-Es as
''potlatch,n which is always customary
among the Indians Of southeastern Alaska
on the occasion of death Of one Of their
number. The potlatch is division of
whatever temporal goods the deceased
may have possessed. such as blankets, dry
goods, etc, among his or her relations.
according as the merits of each individual
case may justify.
In the services Of the morning. which
arc very long, and to the Indian mind
impressive, the first in the order Of the
day is a eulogistic discourse by one ofthe
old men, which, being delivered by him
in sections, Sc TO speak, Is taken up and
sung by the rest in a monotonous sort of
chant; the old man is then superseded by
another venerable buck. who goes through
the same service. and he in turn by an
other, until all the old men have had their
individual say. The chanters keep time
by humping the floor with sticks and
beating on drum. This performance
being gone over for a day or Two, the
potlatch takes place,
The body Of the deceased is first
wrapped in mating, woven from pit
roots, and in appearance resembling
coarse straw. They then convey the body
to the place OF cremation, which Is al
ways on the beach at high-water mark
On this occasion they had on hand for
the purpose of burning the two bodies,
about one cord Of wood, some split and
some in small logs First q platform Of
small LOGS IS laid foot from the ground,
and a space Of four inches between each
log. on this pyre, which was about seven
feet long by five feet wide, the two bodies
were placed, about three feet apart, and
around them a miniature log hut was
built to a height Of four feet; the en-
closed space is then carefully filed in
with split wood and fine kindling, and
now, everything being in readiness, the
fire IS lighted from the bottom. The ma
tive diet being chiefly salmon, an oily
substance, the bodies of the Indians
seem TO contain a considerable amount Of
oil, as they burn very readily. While
the corpses were charring, the friends OF
the deceased continued TO poke them
with long sticks, occasionally raking the
fragments Of burnt flesh from the Pre- and
wrapping them N skins, blAnkeisIete.-

A Dyak Climber.

The Hill Dyaks of Borneo are expert
climbers. Mr.. Hornaby, while collecting
specimens of natural history, saw Dyak
ascend large tapang tree, five feet in di-
ameter at the base, straight as a ships
mast, and without the smallest limb or
knot for a hundred and twenty feet up.
The man went up the tree to secure a
bees nest hanging from the under side of
the lowest limb. The nest was simply 4
large, naked, triangular piece Of white
comb. \ Dyak ladder" had been put
up the previous year, and reached from
the ground to the branches. 1t consisted
of seven twenty-foot bamboo poles held
almost end to end alongside the trunk by
sharp pegs driven into the soft wood
about two feet apart. The pegs were
driven first on one side of the poles ard
then on the other, and to them the bam-
boos were lashed by rattans, which held
them firmly about eight inches from the
tree. These pegs served as the rungs of
the ladder The builder must have been
bold man, with nerves Of steel lie was
obliged to let the ends of the poles over
lap few feet in orderto build the ladder
with safety to himself The completion
of the ladder was most difficult. Cling
ing to the slight bamboo pole, hundred
feet from the ground, he hauled up the
last bamboo, twenty feet long, drove in
the peg, lashed the lower end of the pole
to it, and then assembled that bamboo to
fasten it at the top.
The Dyak honey-hunter fastened to his
back basket to receive the honey. Max
ing up his torch-wood, with which to
smoke the bees out of the nest and away
from himself, he ignited it, slung it by a
cord from his neck, so that it would hang
below his feet, and started up the slender
''laddern Hand and foot he went up,
peg after peg, with a nonchalart case
which would have done credit to the
most daring of sailors. Even that sailor
would have been pardoned if he was a
little shaky, while climbing a tall factory
chimney by the lightning-rod. Or reach
ing the lower limb, 100 feet from the
ground, he took his torch in one hand,
waved it to and fro, until it smoked free
ly, and then crawled out along the bare
branch until he was in reach of the COW
eted nest. Examining it first on one
side, and then on the other, he shouted
down as cheerfully as if his climb had
been nothing: mo honey" Leaving
the comb untouched, he descended, with
a smile, and reached the ground without
the least tremor.

Gated farmer in market town not on a

business he had on hand. "A very bad

In Shakespeare Place.

The fame of Tabor's opera house at
Denver is worldwide, and when Mr..
Tabor determined TO build theatre at
Leadville he announced that he would
have one built that would make his
former effort at Denver look like a
shed. He loudly asserted that he would
knock the earth out, especially in the
decorations of the Leadville home of
Thespis. He sent to Italy for his decora-
tor and did not go inside the Leadville
structure until the Italian sent him word
that he would like his opinion. Mr.. Tabor
went in company with the artist, and
after careful scrutiny expressed himself
as quite satisfied.
''But tell me, "quoth Mr.. Tabor, ''what
man are you making famous by putting
his portrait up therer'
aWhy, that is a very true presentment
of Shakespeare, replied the artist
sswho is hel' asked the examiner.
'Why, the great dramatist, of course,
and not only the greatest playwright but
the greatest bard as well"
"Well, he may have been a mighty big
fellow, but never heard that he did much
for Leadville. Just paint him out OF that
and paint me in" And Mr. Tahor's
portrait overlooks the auditorium.-In-
